Bladder squamous cell carcinoma

Squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder, also called epidermoid carcinoma, keratinizing carcinoma, and spinous cell carcinoma, is relatively rare, accounting for 1.6% to 7% of bladder tumors. It is more common in Egypt and Africa where schistosomiasis is endemic, and they are known as ldquo; schistosomiasis bladder cancer rdquo ;. Non-schistosoma bladder squamous cell carcinoma is usually caused by chronic irritation caused by bladder stones, long-term indwelling urinary catheter, or bladder diverticulum.
